• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_ARCHIVING002 - Order &1 contains a log-book entry; cannot archive ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_ARCHIVING002 indicates that an order contains a log-book entry, which prevents it from being archived. This is a common issue when dealing with archiving in SAP, particularly in the context of logistics and order management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the order you are trying to archive has associated log-book entries. These entries are typically used to track changes, events, or important information related to the order. SAP requires that all related data be cleared or archived before the order itself can be archived.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Log-Book Entries: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IW33 (Display Order) or IW32 (Change Order) to view the order details.
  Check for any log-book entries associated with the order. You can usually find this in the "Log" or "History" tab of the order.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Log-Book Entries:
  
  If the log-book entries are no longer needed, you can delete them. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction for managing log-book entries.
  If the entries need to be retained for historical purposes, consider archiving them separately if your system allows for it.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving:
  
  Once the log-book entries have been addressed, you can re-attempt the archiving process for the order.
  
  
  
  Check Archiving Customizing:
  
  Ensure that your archiving settings are correctly configured in the system. This includes checking the archiving object and the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to archiving for specific instructions or additional considerations that may apply to your version of SAP.
